THE Silimaur? (Beings from Above)
LORE:
It is the year -168 of the Second Era in the lands of Eroda, it is Dawn and the Grand Grooba Legion led by "Bruk-Tra-Gonkh" who brought the grooba Race together against the Ethereal beings called the "Silimaur?", the Elves quickly found themselves overwhelmed and cornered in their own Lands, and having no choice but to use highly Destructive Magic against the Grooba Alliance, this magic was so powerfull that the last time it was used it was against the Undead Army and not only stopping the Undead invasion led by the Lich King, but it also destroyed most of the Silimaúr Kingdom in the year -221, the elves had no choice but to open a portal and flee to another universe who was bound to Magic aswell (since elves cannot live in realms who does not spring with Magic) and quickly found several universes who were created with similar laws, but the time was running out and the Grooba Alliance had already breaked their defenses and approaching the MoonLight City, in order for the elves to escape many would need to cast the powerfull spell while others worked on breaking a rift to a the lands called "Tamriel", many elves decided to fight back and tried to delay the Grooba from reaching the Chambers of Illusion, the spell was ready and portal had been opened, many were able to go through the portal but the Grooba had already entered the Chambers and many followed the elves through the portal, the Sage Failari?l Calaelen was forced to start the Spell of Destruction in a rush in order to prevent more Grooba from
entering the portal.
As soon as the powerfull spell ignited, the portal became unstable and shut itself bringing the whole kingdom to fire and ruins within seconds, everything was destroyed within many dozen of miles... the Silimaur? Kingdom, along with the Grooba Alliance had been destroyed completely.
While in Tamriel in the lands of Skyrim in a place called "Blackmoor" a portal opens and many elves from different tribes start to arrive, they quickly noticed that many Grooba Orks had managed to follow them and quickly used Weather Magic and arrows to attack the Grooba Orks, within minutes the Grooba found themselves confused with no leader and started to Retreat South.
The elves found themselves in a deep forest full of magic, they knew they had to move fast and start looking for a safe place, so they travel West and after few days of travel they encountered a caravan of what seemed to be tall Dark Hooded figures and decided to hide, but it was too late... and who ever the figures were had already noticed their presence, the Silimaur? unsheate their Weapons and Magic, slowly the hooded figures notice something quite peculiar... the strange new arrivals seem to be to the "Mer"... but Much Shorter, so strange hooded beings draw their weapons and tried to comunicate with the new comers who were also curious as to who were all these strange tall hooded beings.
After hours of trying to communicate with the taller beings the elves used magic to learn the language of the taller beings and communication started, they soon realized that these tall beings were a form of "Elves" who called themselves the "Mer" and were part of an organization called the "Thalmor". the Silimaur? presented themselves as foreigners from the lands of Eroda and conversation between both groups was fluid and friendly, the Thalmor offered food and protection to the Silimaur?, but the Silimaur? were somewhat corcerned that the "Mer" were consuming "flesh"... (since they were forbiden to consume it) they instead asked for
Water and fruits.
After a few days the Thalmor started to became curious of the powerfull magic the Silimaur? seemed to posses and the Thalmor started to talk about how convenient it was to have found the Silimaur?, and that the they both should exchange the arcane knowledge each possesed, to this the Silimaur? accepted and after a few spells from the Thalmor the Silimaur?? were not very impressed... they thought to themselves that the Magic the Thalmor had was too primitive and decided to just show
them a few simple spells.
After a week of travelling with the Thalmor, the Thalmor spoke to the Silimaur? about a war they were waging against a South lands called Cyrodiil and that they were traveling to "the Reach", heading towards a big City called "Markarth" in order to establish a base, they also spoke of how the Aldmeri Dominion should rule all of Tamriel by right as all the races were "inferior", these words brought suspicion to the eyes of the Silimaur?... who started to think that it was not such a good idea to be traveling with the Thalmor afterall.
Few days passed and the Silimaur? asked how old were the oldest members of the Thalmor, to which the Thalmor responded that no older than 40 years and resquested to know why was this important, the Silimaur? then responded that the youngest of their members were arround 300 years old, this offended the Thalmor who feelt were being mock, the Silimaur?? responded that they did not intented to offend the hospitality of the Thalmor and that their people are considered immortals and never age, that they are immune to diseases and that they became part of Aether when they age to 1,000 years. The Thalmor were furious, how could such
blasphemy be claimed? there is no race superior to the "Mer".
The next day the Thalmor were pressing the Silimaur? to share their more advanced Magic, which the Silimaur? refused... stating that their magic was too advanced and dangerous for the Thalmor to possess, and that they feel saddened by the low state of the "Mer"... who had lost their ways as "Elves" and therefor immortality, by sharing their more advanced magic with the Thalmor, they could represent a danger to the rest of the races of Tamriel, this made the Thalmor furious who threaten the Silimaur? that if they did not share their magic with them next thing in the morning, they will be taken as "Heretics" that claimed themselves above the Mer. The next day the Silimaur? decided to leave the Thalmor caravan and announced their departure from traveling with them, and that they were none the less were gratefull for all the hospitality of the Thalmor had showed since their meeting, the Thalmor did not take this kindly and threaten the Silimaur? that they had became enemies of the Aldmeri Dominion, the Thalmor then proceded to attack the Silimaúr?, who in return defended themselves against the attack of the Thalmor.
After a few minutes of heavy aggresion against the Silimaúr? they found themselved physically overwhelmed by the Thalmor and decided to use advanced Arcane magic, the Thalmor uneffectively tried to counter the Silimaúr? magic, but it was too strong for the Thalmor and most of them were destroyed in the process.
The Silimaúr? had witnessed the lack of noble traits from the Thalmor, and they knew that soon the Thalmor would take revenge of them, so they keep traveling West to the "Reach" untill they arrived at a long waterfall Cliff with a tunnel that lead to a small flooded cave, but the Thalmor had track them and followed them for weeks, and were ready to attack the Silimaúr?, who entered the small cave that had many small waterfalls and deep pond... having no where to run with the Thalmor just behind their steps, the oldest Sage of the group used a spell of "Etherealism" which allowed them to go through the rocky wall.
When the Thalmor entered the cave they found nothing, it was as if the Silimaúr? had just vanished completely... but the Thalmor was not just about to give up and tried to find traces of magic that the Silimaúr? could had used to escape... but they found nothing and had to abandon their pursuit after a couple of days, but promised to capture the Heretic Elves and claim their Magical secrets.
Few years had passed quickly and the Silimaúr? made the Cave their home and with time turned the cave into a Magical Paradise, untill one day a couple of Golden robed men were able to see and go through the Rockywall protecting the entrance to their home, the Silimaúr? never expected natives to be able to open the path through the wall, after the two Golden Robed strangers removed their hoods, the Silimaúr? soon realized they were "Altmer" and prepared to attack them... but the tall Elves claimed to have come in peace and that they were a group of Mages known as the "Psijic Order" who opposed the Aldmeri Dominion and the Thalmor, the Silimaúr? did not trust them and the Psijics claimed to have seen their arrival through the portal and the subsequent conflict with the Thalmor and that they did not posed a Threat to them, the Psijics offered their support and the oldest sage of the Silimaúr? casted a spell of "Truth" on the Psijics which revealed they were infact trying to help the Silimaúr?.
The Psijics claimed to be concerned about the Thalmor capturing members of the Silimaúr?, and that the Thalmor were quite eager to lay their hands on the Magic the Silimaúr? possessed, the Psijic also made it clear that even they were amazed by their magic and that it would be desastrous to all of Tamriel if the Thalmor or anyone else get their way with their magic, the Psijic asked a few questions about their people and their ways, and also offered the Silimaúr? to join their order.
180 years had passed since their arrive, and the Silimaur? had found great allies within the Psijic Order, the Silimaur? dream of one day return to their own lands, they have the knowledge but lack the proper magical equipment and prevent them to return, the Psijic Order has provided a lot of research and equipment to the Silimaur?.
the Silimaur? do constant exploration to the "Dwemer" ruins scattered throught all of Skyrim, they accomplished this by staying out of sight and their existance has passed unknown to the eyes of the natives, but rumors of war and civil unrest against the Empire of Cyrodiil in the lands of Skyrim float in the air, this poses a threat to the Silimaur? and their research of Dwemer artifacts in their ruins to open a portal back to Eroda.

Kingdom and steal many secrets of the powerfull magic they possessed, the Matron of Clan Dro?vi sent a small party of spies into the realms of the Silimaúr?

Are the rest of the Dark Elves who are regarded as low class if their skin and hair is of Greyish color, they are used as Rank Soldiers, Peasants or Thieves.
Most of the time both tribes work together as one whole society, but sometimes one faction assesinates a key member of the other clan for political Purposes.
Tribe Droevi are Matriarchal, female have greater rights than males, while in clan Barrow is completely the opposite as males get the powerfull places in their society.
It is known for DarkElves to take slaves from any Race in Nahara but prefferably young Silimaur? Elven female slaves (if possible) who they torture, humiliate and [censored] at times, they may also have some male Orcs as slaves, it is also prohibited for Dark Elves to have other Dark Elves as their slaves, the Brud? live as second class citizens but never can they be taken as slaves.

The cult of the DarkMother is well respected by all Shadow Elves, and is taken as a serious offense when speaking wrong about her and her book entitled "NightCreatures of the DarkMother", who was allegedly written by her and given to them.
The teachings of the Dark Mother embraces Assassination, Theft, Practize of Dark Magics, Necrophilia, incist, Bestiality and Sacrifices in return for a place after Death in the plane of the DarkMother.
NightCreatures of the DarkMother Book:
the book details Nahara as a lifeless place, the DarkMother brought a seed from a fruit that she took from a God-Like Tree from a Paradise in a distant Plane, and planted it in what is now called the "Eternal Forest", the Tree after many Thousands of years filled Nahara with all types of Plants, Trees and Vegetables.
The Great mother then gave birth and filled Nahara with many of the Creatures that now inhabited Nahara, the book describes she mated with creatures from different planes and spawned many creatures in Nahara at diffent times and locations, who among them are the Gr?ba, the Funná and the Kiigur.
the Book later describes how she open a Portal and brought creatures from another dimention who were trying to escape "a Great Flood" from an "All Mighty God", she would named them the "Anuki" (Them gods who fled) and The "Quetzli" (Reptilian People).
Later She opened a portal to a Ethereal Realm, whom the Silimaúr? used to enter Nahara.
Finally she would start opening rifts to a Mortal world at different ages and places throught Nahara that would eventually have brought Humans.
Vampirism: Shadow Elves are the only race among Silimaur? that can be affected by Vampirism by the corruption of their bodies, but it differs from Humans since they only receive Half the Powers of Vampirism, for this Dark Elves afflicted by Vampirism are called HalfVampires by other Vampires who see them as a lower class of Vampires, Sun Light is not Lethal to Half-Vampires but causes minor damage to their skin if they expose themselves for long periods, they will try to avoid long exposure to Sun Light which can also blind them for few hours.
